Exactly!

Todd, fix the lines and your good.
You spent quite a bit to just give up on the van over another $100
At this point I don't care if the part costs $5. I'm not putting another dime into it. In fact once I finish moving the machine I will use the fuel tap and truckmount fuel pump to suck all the gas out of it.

Sorry to hear that Todd, but if you are done and uncomfortable with a van....just scrap it. I have had a few vehicles like this and it's just best to get rid of them IMO. Any little thing just irritates the hell out of you.

Are you financing/leasing? If not, slap a for sale sign on that bad boy and sell it as is explaining all the problems you have had to the next buyer. Sell it real cheap just to be done with it.

Good luck on the next one man.

I forgot about the e-brake too, and I have used them in the past.

Your story reminds me of the time my clutch cable broke on my Harley Super Glide and I was about 40 miles from home, late at night.
I was able to shift ok without the clutch, and slip it into neutral at the stops, but start-ups were exciting. LOL

Too much gas and it was scary,(thought I was gonna drop blow up the tranny) not enough and it stalled.

Only half paid for, I will be towing it back to the dealer I bought it from and let them deal with it. I don't have the title to it yet.

Maybe they will give you a nice trade in on it and put you into something else. Do you owe more than $2500 on it?
